Professional Experience

I am a former correctional officer in the Arizona Department of Corrections who went back to school to become a journalist. I have covered a diverse array of topics and have been published in an equally diverse list of publications, including The Wall Street Journal, The Marshall Project, and the New York Daily News. I approach every assignment with a strong, professional work ethic and I have a track record of producing thoroughly-reported, well-written pieces on deadline.
